Saw the CRS, will be scheduling my LIS surgery tomorrow, for hopefully a very soon date! But, I already missed this past Friday at work because I was very constipated which badly flared up my fissure. I'm back on my fiber and stool softeners and BM's have been smooth, but they still make me very sore. It's easy at home here, I can jump in the sitz bath after a BM for relief, but what about tomorrow at work after I go? How can I deal with the extreme soreness/burning while sitting at work all day? I cannot afford to miss anymore time at work, and this surgery can't come quick enough, I can't wait to have it done. But what do you guys do for temporary relief in the meantime? I mean I just want to be able to bear it and be able to go to work prior to my surgery and not be in so much pain during the daytime. Anything you guys, even those who had the surgery... what did you apply for temporary relief of the pain just to deal with everyday life?
